THY NAME ART..."TEACHER"!



They say, “Teaching is a noble profession”,
Irrespective of whichever nation.
      
 Many don’t know, what goes into the making,
      Of a teacher, who tries to hold everything, from   breaking.

Understanding, adorable, hardwork, perseverance,
They ain’t just words, but elements of a furnace.

      Where individuals are melted, conditioned and mould,
      To teachers, who may be metaphored as gold.

They are made to be, like iron and steel,
Impossible to break, but sensitive enough to feel.

      Important it is, to carve a niche for oneself,
      In every small heart, a unique shelf.

It is hard for a subject to leave an impression,
A teacher is one, who helps students build a connection.

      A teacher is a guide, a shining light,
     Who chisels her subject, to her students’ delight.

Customising explanation of theories, according to students’ understanding,
Be it Newton, Maslow, Chanakya or Einstein.

       Gathering a bunch of children, having different  talents in their genes,
    A teacher hones them up, to form a universe from smithereens.

A cushion of comfort, a pillar of strength,
A teacher is one, who balances a mixture of both.
    
     A disciplinarian, an authoritarian,
    When need be, a companion.

A teacher tries genuinely, to be an inspiration,
Teaching rightly is called, the mother of ALL vocations.

    A teacher is there, far and near,
    A title earned by me, a CROWN to wear!

REWIND, PAUSE…PLAY!

Here is a story, I narrate, Sure of which I am, many of you relate.         Fondly I remember, of a childhood I had,             Where we had cognitive development, sans an IPad. Psychomotor skills, were developed naturally, Sadly which are now, imposed forcefully.               Pe aceful and calm, were our composure,            Contrary to what we face today, constant pressure. Memories were recorded, in diary and slambook, As opposed to today, where we store them on Facebook.             There is a huge difference, between now and then,            The present day, that’s losing connection with pen. Carefree w...

HUES!

There is something which very beautifully spreads, Let me clarify it’s not the one on your slice of bread.                  There are different shades from the palette range,          Subtle hues of blue, purple, yellow and orange. Lot of us miss out on witnessing this sight, Except the ones who toil from dawn to night.         There’s a saying which we know I would like to in this comprise,         Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. Waiting to see it in its full glory when in a hurry may seem an eternity, But when having ample leisure time, it spreads as fast as the power of gravity.              Do try to see this, God’s masterpiece,          ...

A UNIVERSAL STORY – WITH A TWIST!

I’m sure most of you must have come across this story on Facebook or some other social media. Let’s revisit it. A daughter goes to her mother all unhappy and sad with the present situation in her life. She tells her woes to her mother, who, in turn, boils 3 pots of water and puts in carrots, eggs and coffee beans in each of the pot. They wait for some time; the daughter gets restless but her mother pacifies her and asks to wait. After a few more minutes, the mother turns off the flames and fishes out the carrots and eggs. She asks her daughter to describe about the carrots turning soft and eggs turning hard. She shows the pot of coffee and asks her to describe that too whereupon the daughter says that the beans have released an aroma. The story concludes by the mother explaining about the reactions of 3 different things facing the same situation. She emphasizes on the reaction of the coffee beans and asks her daughter to have patience till the unfavourable phase passes a...
